Monique endured her worries for a long while. After much thought, she decided to talk to Cecil about it as it felt better to share her concerns with a friend. "Cecil... If you accidentally find out that someone is homosexual, what would you do?"
Cecil did not take it seriously and said, "And what's wrong with that? Society is open-minded now, so homosexuality is common. There's nothing wrong with a man loving another man, or two women in love either."
Monique asked, "Do you really think so?"
Cecil said, "Yes, I really do. There is a very loving gay couple in my community. Whenever they're out and about, they would often greet us very politely. In fact, as long as two people are deeply in love, and do not wreck anyone's family, they have a right to be happy together."
Monique asked again, "Then what if..."
Monique looked at Cecil and hesitated. Cecil asked impatiently, "What?"
Monique continued, "Oh, forget it. If I say it, people will definitely think that I’m biased because I dislike him, and am deliberately gossiping about him."
Cecil suddenly understood the situation and said, "Monique, are you about to say that Levi is gay..?"
As Cecil and Monique chatted away fervently, they were not aware of the other people behind them. And since Cecil’s voice was not exactly soft, her words had been heard by those people...
One of those guys exclaimed, "What? Levi Brown, who's my roommate, is gay? Alas, has he ever harboured thoughts about me? I haven't even had a girlfriend yet, I can't be defiled..."
Another guy continued, "That's right. If Levi were gay, he would probably be the first to attack you, since you sleep next to him!"
Monique and Cecil were shocked beyond words.
They were doomed!
Levi would definitely eat them alive now.
As expected, it did not take long for the rumor to reach Levi.
He was so furious that he kicked the door of Monique and Cecil's dormitory open without even knocking. Cecil was so frightened that she hid in her bed, with the blankets shielding herself.
Levi pointed to Monique and said, "Tomboy, get out here!"
Monique was calm and relaxed. "What? You had the guts to do it, but now you're afraid of it being out in the open? I never thought of you as great, Levi, but I thought that you were a decent person at least. Since you had the guts to hook up with Commander Black, you should have the guts to admit it.”
Levi was so full of rage that he almost spat blood out. "Monique, you d*mned woman, what are you thinking about all day? I'm a decent and dignified man. When did I seduce our Commander Black with my body?" He yelled.
Monique said, "I heard it that day."
"What day?" Levi suddenly remembered that it was the day when he got a phone call saying that Silvia and her child were fine. On that day, he was so excited that he hugged Jasper. Later, he saw Monique looking at him strangely and she then proceeded to avoid him. "Monique, what the f*ck are you talking about? If you want to talk nonsense, I'll make you pay for your nonsense."
